The Algarve; the destination to enjoy great 2012 events

The Algarve is a fabulous destination to enjoy a villa holiday in, not only does it have some of the greatest scenery and beaches, but also has some of liveliest and exciting sporting and leisure events taking place throughout the year.

As you can imagine, with so many award winning beaches, the Algarve is the ideal destination for a sand and beach themed festival. This is exactly what the Algarve hosts each year between April and October in Pêra: the Fiesa International Sand Sculpture Festival.

The Algarve attracts spectators and competitors from across the world each year as it is the setting for many of the world’s top sporting events and competitions. Everything from golf to powerboat racing to football is catered for in the Portuguese region, with championships taking place all through the year due to its mild climate during the winter months. Some of the highlights include the World F1 Powerboat Championships, Iberian Windsurfing Championship and the Formula 4 World Championships.

If food is your forte, then a stay in our Villas in Algarve will give you access to a great many events to tempt your taste buds. Events such as the Tavira Gastronomic Festival in May, or the Algarve Gourmet Festival in July, are just a small selection of the great traditional food & drink themed fairs held in the Algarve.
